Galveston peppermint vs tank raised peppermint

[johnnytrinh]

Is there something that I need to know about Galveston peppermint shrimp before adding it to my system? I saw that some people were looking for Galveston ones. Is there a reason why?

I'm guessing because it's free

Galveston peps supposedly eats aiptasia...

Where as LFS tend not to.

My LFS pep eats aiptasia. He cleaned up the tank very well.

I read this thread a while back when I decided to use peps to get rid of aiptasia. The ones I got were true peps. The rest in the tank were true as well.

Did not know there are two kinds of peppermint shrimp! Thanks for the knowledge!

I wasted $30 on store bought peps never again... but have not had any luck on getting any over in Galveston on my last trip last weekend will be trying again on the 4th or 5th. and maybe watch some fireworks from the jetty....

Galveston Peps sure do know how to eat those nasty aptisia's.

What happened to this thread? I'd love some Galv. peps. myself.

Don't know... I was never able to get back to Galveston during the times I wanted to go and try again. Went two times with no luck of getting any Galv. Peps. and with the weather getting cooler not sure if you can collect them during cooler weather.
